Description de la propriété
From the town of Monsummano Terme, one need only look up to observe the grandeur of the Monsummano Alto hill, and the three architectural elements that distinguish it: the Church of San Niccolao in the centre, the Tower on the left, and the remains of the Arch on the right. Situated on the top of the hill, 340 metres above sea level, these are the best-preserved remains of the ancient fortified medieval village, whose walls are largely collapsed or covered by vegetation.^This fascinating late-medieval building that is part of the ancient hamlet of Monsummano Alto has now been converted into a private villa.^The property can comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests in five comfortable bedrooms with five bathrooms and is a quiet and private corner for resting, sunbathing and inviting friends. ^Shaded by ancient trees or in the gentle Tuscan sun, the villa's garden offers an important green space where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner and a swimming pool as an ideal place to relax for the whole family. ^^^Monsummano Terme lies at the foot of the Monsummano Alto hill, in northern Tuscany, between Florence and Lucca. Immersed in an enchanted territory amidst still uncontaminated natural environments and unusual testimonies of art and history, it is the western access route to the largest inland marshland of the Peninsula, the Padule di Fucecchio (Fucecchio Marshes), a place of such unique charm that even Hannibal left an eye there during his descent into Italy on the back of an elephant. Subsequent reclamations allow us, today, to walk in a place of pure nature whose roots are lost in the mists of time and which, in the shadow of the Montalbano complex, has attracted our species since the Palaeolithic age. Also not to be missed is the eastern part of Montalbano with the villages of Monsummano Alto and Montevettolini, linked by a suggestive trekking route among quarries and rock gyms, a unique line for observing the territory from above, but especially for those who love climbing or free-flying with hang-gliders.^Descending the slope are the Giusti caves that have allowed Monsummano to become a renowned spa resort, while further down the valley lies a town that has taken much from the influence of the Medici grand duchy and has been the cradle for various poets and actors of different eras. ^^^^^,
